CAR-DOOR HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 19, 1909. Serial No. 473.094.

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, \ViLLL-ur R. Kinxnn, a citizen of the Unite= States, residing at Greenville. in the county of Mercer and 1 State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CRIWIDOUI' Hangers; and 'I' do hereby declareihc following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in car door hangers, and it has for its object to provide for the ready 5 hanging and supporting of the door in position in a simple and effective manner,

It also has for its object to prevent a binding action of the door, as it is moved from and to its closed and open position, and which has heretofore been a great source of annoyance and requiring considerable effort and outlay of strength to overcome in vention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, including their construction, substantially as later described and particularly pointed out. by the claim.

In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application, Figure 1 is a broken side elevation of a car, preferably of the freight type, with my invention applied thereto, and, Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, produced through the door and its hangers, disclosing the pulley membersand bearings thereof in edge elevation.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several views.

In carrying out my invention, I employ, preferably, angle iron rails 1 and 2, arranged with their vertical portions in alinement, said rails being riveted or bolted to the horizontal or outstanding portions or flanges 3 fecting the opening and elogi and 4 of plate members 5 and 6, respectively bolted laterally to the car 9' at its upper ano lower edges, preferably as at 7 and 8.

lip-per and,lower pairs of brackets 9 10 are bolted to the car door 11, at its top and bottom edges, preferably by means bolts lil and 13 passing through each of sa pairs of said brackets, respectively, brackets being each of angular outline te eeire the corner edges of the door at the t and bottom thereof and having an upstandi. a. or vertical extension 14, at the inner ed its horizontal portion, each extension 1 forming opposed or parallel beari tween which is hung a pulley 15, the axis ltdthereof being received in openings or apertures in said bearings and suitably headed i for retention therein.

The pulleys 15. it will be noted, adapt ed to receive the vertical arms or rails proper of the rail members 1 and 2 in their flanges, and upon which said 5, travel in opening and. closing the door, t 4155 providing for facility and ready movement of the door in performing such op ration, and whereby any binding or undue m ing action between said rail n'ie;n,. ers an pulleys will be obviated, regardless of we. and length of service theseparts, apparent. Also, itwill be noted tin employing the rollers or pulleys the and bottom of the door, in connection rails therefor, the door is sensitively anced in position and thus rendered ready of manipulation or movement r onr thereof, as is obvious.
